About Hourig

Hourig Kalajian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She offers a calm, person-centered presence to help people take the first steps toward change. Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling many demands.

She favors a whole-person view instead of separating mental health from daily life. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Hourig adapts her approach to each person, using interventions that match their needs and goals.

Hourig brings prior experience working with children and adolescents in schools, homes, and the community. That background shaped her attention to real-world problems and straightforward strategies that families and individuals can use day to day.

Her work includes helping people with parenting and caregiver stress, grief, career issues, ADHD-related concerns, life transitions, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, commitment questions, feelings of emptiness, and multicultural concerns.

Hourig uses a blend of therapeutic approaches to guide sessions, choosing what fits each person. She aims to make sessions feel collaborative, clear, and focused on concrete next steps. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking so they know which formats are offered.

Approaches that guide online work and goals

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and experiments to reduce symptoms and build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods that seem likely to help. They often blend techniques so the work fits the person's situation rather than forcing a single method.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to join from different locations. Licensed professionals adapt sessions to what works for the client, balancing conversation, practical exercises, and at-home practices to move toward the client's goals.
